I need to pick out an Extender for Windows 7 WMC. From what I can tell there are dedicated units and also the Xbox 360. I only need basic function for guide and live TV, and just want the most reliable, least complicated way to go.

Any and all suggestions are welcome.

I use my Media Center daily and certainly enjoy all its wonderful features. Sadly some of those features are no longer available.

Here is my problem
I am not able to update my channel frequencies since about 2020 after the last federal remapping changes to the channel's broadcast frequencies....

I recently replaced my aging 1st generation Intel NUC with a newer 6th generation model that supports 4k. I was able to get it up and running with Windows 7 using a patched Win 7 iso. I got everything setup to work with my SD HDHR Prime tuners, but now I want to add my HDHR OTA tuners for local...

Having searched this topic, all I can find are posts by people who need help enabling the screensaver. I would like to disable it. If I pause my TV and leave the room for 20 minutes or more, I would like to come back to see the picture still on the screen. Same if I leave the program guide up and...

My windows 7 media center clock was running fast (1 minute a week) and it was interfering with the TV recordings. I configured the media center of an old computer and installed the latest EPG123. However, EPG doesn't download TV program updates automatically, so every 10 days I have to download the...

My Windows 7 Media Center died. I looked at ebay and facebook marketplace. Would I be better off getting another Win 7 or Win 10 unofficial. I didn't know how well it was working on 10. I guess I just need to make sure it has an express slot for my Ceton and another for the HDMI card. I assume my...

I noticed just in the last week, that many of my directories show as empty in WMC, when I can see the files there in Windows explorer. Or WMC shows episodes 1, 5, 8, 16 of a TV show (for example) when I know there are a total of 20 episodes in the directory.

Any thoughts on why this might happen?

I’d like a nicer over the air antenna type multiple tuner
I’ve been using a haugpage 1800 for ten flawless years also a silicon dust dual tuner which is substandard, it worked 95% of time.

Replaced the silicon dust w/ a haugpage 2250 dual tuner purchased used on ebay, it worked flawlessly for 6...

I have a weird mapping situation here.
Normally 27.4 is LAFF and 43.4 is BOUNCE but it’s now reversed. See pic attached.
When I record 43.4 now, it’s recording 27.4 and vice versa.
I tried reinstalling WMC, delete eHome files, rescanning TV signal but problem is not solved.
Does anyone have this...

I have been running EPG Collector 4.3FP 23 since April 2020 without an error but starting yesterday, I have the error note above and the script is running in a loop without terminating.
I created a new batch file, thinking the old one has corrupted but it still does the same thing.

I noticed in...

I recently had an issue with my WMC. Any new copy protected live TV or recently recorded TV would not display video.

After researching and trying many different things, I may have made things worse.

In mid July, more and more of my recorded TV would display a blank screen. Audio was ok. This...

I didn't find another post on this topic, so here goes - after a period of time, the channel logos change from color to black & white. When I close WMC, launch My Channel Logos and reload the logos, they appear in color when I restart WMC but then revert back to B&W after a while. Anybody else have...

Like almost everyone else, when I'm done watching TV I go 'back' to the main menu and leave WMC running when I turn off the TV. Occasionally, I have a solid green screen when I turn the TV back on, no cursor or anything.

I can press 'enter' and the screen comes back, displaying the channel guide....

I'm on version 1.7.0.10. I have 3 different channels that are not getting sent correctly to my cable box. My cable provider is Spectrum (digital). I can not figure out why cable box channel 197 is being sent via IR to the cable box as channel 2.

I've tried several google searches and searches here...

Pause play for like 10 minutes then black screen w/ only volume
Sometimes I forget to completely click off a program that has been on pause,
Like I pause and don’t click back to all recorded TV.

I believe this is a common issue w/ MC7, I have been resorting to restarting which is a major...

MC no longer controls volume?
Since I’ve had difficulty w/ the remote controls, I’ve been setting the AVR to a medium volume then use MC to adjust.
Now I’m forced to control volume w/ the AVR the MCs volume #s will change but volume stays the same.
Please recommend the proper settings that I can...

My Hard drive failed, and had to install a new hard drive with Window7, However Media Center does not have the Digital Cable Advisor in Extras. So Media Center thinks the computer is not digital cable ready., Can some one give me hand with getting medai center into the digital cable ready,to enable...

This may have been addressed in the past (disclaimer). I have been a loyal user of media center for 10+ years. I am in the process of moving on .... I am now using HDHomeRun DVR ... has some shortcomings (no search for programs that I have found, not satisfied with the channel lineup display) ......

I've been pulling my hair out for several hours because I could not get WMC to detect my HDHomerun Prime tuners. The tuners showed up in my network settings, could be accessed by the HDHomerun software (both setup and view) but no matter what I seemed to do in WMC I could not get it to detect the...

Hi all, I've had the same Windows 7 setup since 2012. I use Windows Media Center to record and watch TV and Chrome (or any other browser, really) to access things like Netflix and Amazon Prime. Everything worked fine for years. Suddenly last night, I started having serious problems: I can watch...

I didn’t see anything similar to this issue on the site. I’m using EPG123 and Windows 7. This started happening a couple of months ago sometime after updating EPG123. About every week or so recordings will not be successful. After rebooting the OS, recordings will resume. I tried updating EPG123...

Microsoft is making it harder to install Playready for WMC TV setup. Posting for anyone else that goes through this.

Decided it is time to reformat my HTPC C: drive and have a clean WMC install. I completed Windows 7 install and installed all drivers without issue. I tried Windows update to get to...

I've got a few folders & each has many recordings. Instead of deleting recordings individually how can I just delete the folder? I searched but came up empty. I know this can be done in Windows but that would lose the history when it was done, which is probably no big deal. But it just seems like...

Hello everyone. I have just joined this forum although I have been using Win7 Windows Media Centre for the past 10 years. I have been fairly content with it all untill the update server closed.....

I now only use it for my music and videos. Problem is trying get the info. for the music albums....
